1000 YEARS OLD EP 12(FINALE)
My overall review of the series is that it was ok. Wish it would more vampire action in the series between the love of the vampire and human. The ending was really sweet but so sad.....................................................................................................................................................................................................Was this review helpful to you?
This BL is good Camp Ya'll just boring
Ok ok, in all seriousness, I could totally understand why someone would drop this faster than I dropped my brother as a baby. But I think one thing should be clear when jumping into the first episode of 1000 Years Old. This is Camp at it's finest and is in no way near trying to be serious. Sure it has serious moments, but the only way you'll get enjoyment out of those moments is if you shut your brain off and just enjoy the show for the vibes. Even the plot-twist itself isn't anything crazy and has been done before a million times.But its in the way the characters interact with each other and the quirks of this show that give it it's charm. I genuinely feel like 1000 Years Old is an acquired taste kind of BL. That isn't meant for everyone but definitely stands out from the crowd and resonates with those who enjoy a good and honest BL that wears its heart on its sleeve, just like the 1000 Year Old vampire Pun.

1000 years love story
My first ever review... So here goes.I'm gonna keep it short and sweet.
What I loved about this series :
The actors that they choose for the parts did it well. Except Somchai and his hand clapping, he was somewhat irritating.
I believe character Yoh is new to acting, I must say he did well. Yes some parts he was a bit stiff, but overall he did a good job.
Maybe could have shown some more affection towards Pun. I mean this guy has loved you for a 1000 years.
What I didn't love about this series.:
The ending... It's sad. In a way.
SPOILER :
I might have missed this in the story, but why could Pun not turn Yoh into a vampire?
He is not a normal vampire and has vampire blood in him, sun does nothing, garlic and holy water neither.
So maybe what we know abt biting and letting the human die as in other vampire movies doesn't work here.. Sad.
Then the ending... Isn't Pun also dying according to his brother they have like 20 more years?
So then how is he meeting Yoh again in his next life?
Did I miss this part?
I'm actually hoping for a second series 😍

TWILIGHT TOOK A QUEER TURN
This show sure has a lot, neither too good nor too bad but if you have watched shows like Guardian : The Lonely and the Great God, My Demon, the Twilight Saga and Originals and Vampire Diaries, when they talk about 1000 year old creatures and vampires you'd definitely have an image of what your ideal vampire in the 2020's would look like.First thing's first, Mr. Vampire looks like he popped out of the 90's literally and he is still psychologically stuck in them, like seriously, have you seen his long hair tied back in an awful way, no offense, it looks like a cropped up wig.
And there is our student, I don't think he is as naive that is if naive is what they hoped he would be, based on the scripting, his emotions and somehat bland expressions, he seems pretty dense. I try but I just don't see the sincerity in his expressions yet which makes it look either overdone, irrelevant or merely forced.
But if I do not have to blame him since after all its a habit to get close to strangers even the least or most interesting ones at least to build a storyline from curiosity but I don't seem to hint at the intended first sight chemistry which in my opinion it seems the show is trying to promote as always.
And some Vampire stereotypes just don't hit it right, I bet many of you have watched Kissable lips, Sugar Crush Kim Ji woong is what you would expect from a vampire in the 2020s, Gong Yu is what you would expect from a Goblin in 2016, Song Kang is what you would expect from a Demon in 2023. Insecure about his nature, careful not to get the people they love and care about entangled in their unfortunate lives, dudes, these guys have it rough at the first time and it takes time for you to sit and dine with a total stranger however handsome they are unless they are were an idol.
No one has a perfect start for this rather Vampiric year since There's literally like about four Thai Bls with a Vampire Story Lined up and I guess I didn't dose through the initial episodes, at least the show is intriguing to watch and sure enough I can be hopeful that it will improve with time. The cast seems to be well chosen and the story somewhat interesting, all in all if the acting is heavily improved, it has a good potential

Si pudiese le daría un 0
No se como la he podido terminar, pero probablemente sea el peor bl q he visto nunca.La historia no va a ninguna parte, los actores son todos malísimos actuando, tienen 0 química, la producción es de 6€, unos paraguas y un sueño. Hay momentos que dan muchísimo cringe, por ejemplo cuando Yoh le aclaricia la barriga a Pun como si fuese un gato.
Lo único bueno de todo esto, es que si tienes problemas de insomnio y te lo pones antes de dormir, te vas a quedar dormido a los 10 mins.

Camp y con un vestuario que desestabilizará tu química cerebral
1000 Years Old es una propuesta complicada de definir. Un vampiro que parece no entender su propia existencia, o no querer compartirla, que se enamora, nuevamente, de un humano que no es capaz de comprender sus propios sentimientos. Todo eso, adornado con el poder de la amistad para sacar adelante una extraña obsesión relacionada con la sopa de sangre de cerdo.¿Es lo peor que he visto en mi vida? No. ¿Echaré de menos el momento de ponerme a ver al chico más tonto y su vampiro? Sí. ¿Volvería a verla? Definitivamente no. ¿Quiero saber más de Shane y de Opal en el futuro? Definitivamente.
Aun habiendo hecho este viaje consciente de las deficiencias del guion, siento que el último episodio es una falta de respeto para la audiencia, un ejercicio pobre de storytelling que intenta dar una motivación a la búsqueda entre sí de los protagonistas, pero que acaba por robarle el alma a la historia.
Una pena, porque ya había leído esa tendencia por parte de este creador.

медленно и нудно
Сразу говорю, пришла не из-за жанра. Пришла из-за Шейна. Но это было не выносимо нудно, медленно и порой я чувствовала себя дураком. Жаль потраченного времени. Мне этот лакорн наивный детский какой то. Актёры старается. Но мне не зашло кринж. Вампир какой то добренький влюбленный. Суп с кровью помогает ему. Для 14 летний подростком подойдетWas this review helpful to you?
10/10 IT STARTED SO GOOD BUT...
Despite its low ratings, I immediately dove into "1000 Years Old" because I rarely let ratings dictate my viewing choices.This series tells the whimsical story of Pun, a goofy, unserious 900-year-old vampire, and Yoh, a student obsessed with aliens. Yoh's curiosity about Pun leads him to follow the vampire to a pork blood soup diner, eventually prompting him to move into the same apartment building.
While 1000 Years Old features a vampire, there's no need to brace for scares. This series is a lighthearted, funny, and at times silly watch with just a touch of drama. The humor often lands, and thankfully, the acting is not cringeworthy unlike some other vampire shows (yes, "OMG Vampire," I'm looking at you!). I particularly enjoyed witnessing the delightful friendship that blossomed between Pun, Yoh, Kaemsai, and Shin.
Honestly, this show could have been titled "HAIL PORK BLOOD SOUP" given its central role in the story, lol!
The acting is decent, not particularly compelling, but certainly not bad. However, the series suffers from a slow burn pace that could be frustrating for some.
Despite the pacing issues, 1000 Years Old managed to keep me engaged up until episode 8.
It was a pleasant surprise to realize that the director of this series also helmed "I Will Knock You" and "2gether the series." While "2gether" left me disappointed, "I Will Knock You" just satisfied me.
Character Insights
Pun:
Pun is a sweet, kind-hearted, and refreshingly innocent
900-year-old vampire. He boasts a messy but colorful room and a surprisingly fashionable style, a unique blend for a half-human, half-vampire. He's also the proud owner of a black cat. I found myself instantly drawn to his character, and it felt like the attraction between him and Yoh was mutual. Pun's past struggles centered on his inability to die, but after meeting Yoh and opening the pork blood soup business, he finally feels a sense of purpose. He's the only vampire I know who openly declares his vampirism to anyone, though, amusingly, no one ever believes him! For a vampire, he's incredibly calm and sweet, yet a voracious eater of pork blood. It makes you wonder what his livelihood was before the pork blood soup business.
Yoh:
Yoh is a university student with an alien obsession, shared by his group of friends. While he has a keen eye for detail, his character can be quite annoying, especially his nosiness when it comes to Pun. In the earlier episodes, he constantly devises ways to prove Pun is a vampire, from placing crucifixes on doors to giving Pun a bunch of garlic. His behavior often veers into stalker-like territory: wanting to see Pun at the diner, moving into his apartment, and even searching his name online. It's frustrating to watch him accuse Pun of killing people in the neighborhood one minute, only to barge into Pun's room to sleep the next. For a university student, Yoh comes across as surprisingly dim-witted. He seems oblivious to Pun's obvious flirting and advances, and inexplicably, he's unaware of the health benefits of eating pork blood. His younger sister, in contrast, appears far more sensible. Yoh even jeopardizes Pun by bringing him in to the police. He doesn't take anything seriously when it comes to Pun, pivoting from alien obsession to vampire obsession, and he shows little consideration for Pun's feelings, either playing ignorant or simply being plain stupid. The relationship between Pun and Yoh often felt shallow to me, with Pun clearly more invested and Yoh failing to reciprocate his energy. Yoh's character almost made me give up on the series entirely.
Observations:
I found myself pondering a few things:
* How does a 900-year-old vampire know so little about vampires, their dangers to humans, or even how to ride a train?
* The series started to drag significantly around episode 8. It would have benefited from fewer episodes, focusing only on the crucial scenes. It felt as though the story was stretched merely to fill all 12 episodes.
* Yoh's continued testing of Pun, despite already believing he's a vampire, made little sense, especially with Pun passively allowing it.
* Yoh's inability to express himself clearly was also incredibly annoying and contributed to the slow pace of the show.
* How come the vampires' wedding was held in a Catholic church?
* While the series started strong, the writing became noticeably duller as it progressed into the later episodes.
* The twist at the end turns out to be interesting as it explores reincarnation.
On a positive note, the cinematography and production value were excellent. The vibrant and colorful environment perfectly complemented the overall mood of the series.
Don't go into 1000 Years Old expecting anything spicy; it's from the same director as "2gether" and "I Will Knock You," after all!
At its core, 1000 Years Old offers a bit of everything - romance, friendship, and of course, vampire antics. The overarching lesson to be learned is one of perseverance and following your heart's desires, alongside a celebration of the deep friendships formed between the characters.
